The third level is when the king ascends the throne but does not return to the country to inherit the throne. Such a country will have a better relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will give you better treatment and provide appropriate economic assistance.
There is no fourth level because at the fourth level, these countries have already belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Since we are all one country, the relationship between countries naturally does not apply. You will become the new territory incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, so it will be easier to talk about one country.
Who should be responsible for this matter?
It takes someone who is incredibly cunning, talented, and ruthless. Who is this person?
This person is Zhang Yu, also known as Zhang Tuizhi.
After glancing at Liu Xian, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let Zhang Yu go to Korea this time."
When Liu Xian heard what Zhu Youxiao said, he was a little surprised, but then he suddenly realized.
His Majesty had previously stated that he had his own plans for Zhang Yu, and now it seems this is the plan. This clearly means Zhang Yu will go to Korea to stir up trouble, and there may be further developments.
His Majesty the current emperor always does things in a continuous and linked manner. It may seem like a simple beginning, but the things hidden behind it will definitely be very, very huge.
Liu Xian could also infer something from the fact that His Majesty used Zhang Yu. After all, Zhang Yu was a man of greater talent and ability than himself, and he rarely paid attention to the process when doing things, but usually only looked at the results.
If Your Majesty wants to use Zhang Yu, how could it be as simple as just sending him as an envoy to Korea?
"By the way, tell Zhang Yu that he won't have to come back after this trip and will stay in Korea for the time being." Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and then said, "The other side has sent a prince, so we have to send someone over as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Xian quickly agreed.
I was right. His Majesty had a plan. This was definitely not a simple matter; it looked like it would be a long-term plan.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and then said, "Zhang Yu seems a little lonely alone. How about this, let Prince Fu go. He doesn't have much to do in the capital anyway. It would be nice to go out for a walk this time."
After hearing this, Liu Xian really didn't expect that His Majesty would actually send Prince Fu.
You know, the entire Ming Dynasty was very wary of the vassal kings, from the emperor to the civil officials. Under such circumstances, the vassal kings never had anything to do. Who could have thought that this time His Majesty would actually want to send Prince Fu to Korea?
Although Prince Bok and the Crown Prince of Joseon have equal status, is it really okay to let someone from the royal family do such a thing?
But when he thought about North Korea, Liu Xian had nothing to say.
North Korea cannot do anything to King Fu, so do they dare to follow King Fu in rebellion?
They themselves don't dare.
"Yes, Your Majesty. After I return, I will immediately send the news to the capital and ask them to prepare. We will set off soon." Liu Xian agreed again.
"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
In fact, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty had to do something after all.
There are really too many of these people. If they all lie on Daming and suck his blood, I really can't handle it.
Although there were reforms for a period of time that made them all pay taxes, they still paid salaries. The royal family was simply too large, and sooner or later they would not be able to sustain it.
As for the solution, Zhu Youxiao had already thought of it.
Why do you have to carry such a heavy burden on your back?
If you can't carry it yourself, why not just throw it away?
You will feel relaxed then.
After annexing North Korea in the future, it would be unrealistic to directly send officials to govern the country. After all, the people there are all North Koreans, and it would be difficult for them to integrate into the country.
Throw the vassal kings over and let them govern Korea. After all, they have a large population and rich families. Let them hand over all their current land and properties in exchange for Korea as their real fiefdom and let them manage it well.
If the vassal kings managed their territories well, it would naturally be a good thing; if they did not, the Korean people would complain. At this time, the Ming court would come out to clean up the mess, clean up the vassal kings, confiscate their property, make a fortune, and also make decisions for the local people. By the way, it could allow officials to directly station there and establish prefectures and counties.
If prefectures and counties were established directly, the Korean people would be very resistant and some might even cause trouble. However, after experiencing the cruel rule of the feudal lords, the Korean people would think that establishing prefectures and counties was a good thing and that the Ming Dynasty was their savior.
